Posted: Tue May 30, 2017 6:51 pm Post subject: Dsub Connector Shell With Female Threaded

Hi All,

 

I have a couple of instances where I need to mate a male Dsub to a female Dsub end to end within the length of a wire bundle (example: connect the under panel wire harness to the wire harness of the control stick).

 

I already have the male and female Dsub connectors wired up and they are connected end to end and I have the plastic shells (see below) however the metal screws of the one shell needs to screw into a threaded bore of the other connector so that the two connectors do not disconnect.  Kinda like when you attach the Dsub connector to the back of a computer the plug slides into the receptacle and then the screws on the connector shell thread into the threaded bore of the computer case. 

 

How does one (me) do this on an end to end connector?

multiple ways to to this1 buy one connector with built in nuts (Stein has these) 

2 remove screws and use zip ties to hold the connectors together.

I think you want something like this female screw kit:



http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=5KjJMQyy%252baNdw8WXWxtgeQ%3d%3d



It attaches to the contact portion before you install the back shell. Each one should contain a kit for one connector pair, and you can just use the provided male threaded hardware with the other one.



Be careful to either tighten the female nuts adequately or use some Loctite to keep the nuts from falling out if you ever need to separate the two connectors.



Here is a similar part from SteinAir

http://www.steinair.com/product/dsub-nut-pack-4-40-thread-size/



or you can also buy one with built in female lugs like this: 

http://www.steinair.com/product/9-pin-male-dsub-connector-with-4-40-lugs/



These last ones are nice because you never have to worry about the lugs backing out when you take the connectors apart!

Bill,



I hate those screws. I have seen barrel connectors which are female on both ends, stuck between two D-sub shells. They require having a screwdriver on both ends, Pain-in-the-a**.

I am planning to use a pair a zip ties in a X in the places where I have D-sub connectors in my plane. I would rather cut and replace the zip ties than mess around with the screws.

I will be really interested to see if anyone has better ideas.

Google 'dsub latch'. There are several different options for joining dsubs in-line; screws, sliding latches, and spring bales. My favorite style:[url=http://www.newark.com/cooper-interconnect/17-529/d-sub-spring-latch/dp/39F1390?mckv=sPyr8IJjG_dc|pcrid|81605889141|plid||kword||match||slid||product|39F1390|&gross_price=true&CATCI=pla-164504983461&CAAGID=20389674261&CMP=KNC-GUSA-GEN-SHOPPING-39F1390&CAGPSPN=pla&gclid=CjwKEAjw07nJBRDG_tvshefHhWQSJABRcE-ZuxQrtf1Qi0xFg5ATYZXSW2anCtcB-ENzwuu27bdAVhoC_Jfw_wcB&CAWELAID=120185550001138611]http://www.newark.com/cooper-interconnect/17-529/d-sub-spring-latch/dp/39F1390?mckv=sPyr8IJjG_dc|pcrid|81605889141|plid||kword||match||slid||product|39F1390|&gross_price=true&CATCI=pla-164504983461&CAAGID=20389674261&CMP=KNC-GUSA-GEN-SHOPPING-39F1390&CAGPSPN=pla&gclid=CjwKEAjw07nJBRDG_tvshefHhWQSJABRcE-ZuxQrtf1Qi0xFg5ATYZXSW2anCtcB-ENzwuu27bdAVhoC_Jfw_wcB&CAWELAID=120185550001138611[/url]



More positive security than screws, because it can't loosen with vibration. The same latch can be used on chassis mounted connectors, too, as long as the designer left enough room around the connector to add the springs.  (Can you hear me, Advanced Flight Systems?)

Not really.  I just made a clickable link from your URL.  So the destination is newark.com. 



Trying to copy/paste that long URL with a phone or tablet is a pain.

I think his point is that the Tinyurl link obfuscates the destination that you'll reach when you click it.  It might be benign, or it might not.  Many people, myself included, will not click a link without knowing what's likely to be at the other end of the DNS rabbit hole.



Tinyurl provides the option of using preview links that begin with preview.tinyurl.com.  Those links take you to the tinyurl website where you can see the full un-shortened URL and decide whether you want to go further.  Very handy for posting in forums like this one.

And since we know each other personally, and I know for sure that the 

post came directly from you, and I totally trust that any link I click 

on will not try to attack my computer.....

I know what you did. The problem with those shortened links is that if 

you hover over them to see the destination, it only shows the short-link 

provider; not the actual destination site. So you don't know until you 

get there what site you're actually visiting.

Not sure why you're having to copy/paste. All the phones/tablets I've 

used (both ios & android) allow you to just click on the hyperlink in 

the email client to open the page in the device's browser.
